An aircraft has flown 60 NM along a planned track and is 3 NM right of track. The remaining distance to the destination is 30 NM. Using the 1-in-60 rule, what heading adjustment is required to fly directly to the destination?

The aircraft is left/north of its eastbound track. The accumulated track error is about 6°; adding the correction required to reach the destination gives approximately 12° right. **Key takeaway:** The direct-to-destination correction combines track error and closing angle. **Glossary:** Track error: angular deviation from planned track.
